[Intro] (Stately Harpsichord solo, moving into a grand, pompous orchestral swell) [Chorus: The Yes-Man Anthem] [Full Male Choir, Grand Harmonies, Operatic] We are the Board! The pillars... of the trade! We never check the Sovereign our car quality... or anything... we've made! We’d rather see the company... sink beneath... the sea, Than miss a crustless sandwich... of cucumber... and tea! [Verse 1: The Boardroom Audit] Inside the Boardroom of Regal Relic, the air is thick with dread, As CEO Sir Alistair Ponsonby-Smythe wishes his Board were dead. "Lord Percival! Your balance sheet is a deadly pincer, Something is rotten in Finance, you greedy little splinter! Arthur Glossover! Your sales staff is in France, Spending all our capital on a limitless expense! Sir Cedric! Your engineers are far too many, But for Research and Development, you haven't spent a penny! Production! You’re behind and the quality is a mess, Yet you expect a bonus for giving us much less!" [Verse 2: The Scottish Division] "The Glasgow staff... are much too keen... on saving... every pence," "They found... the leather seating... was a 'Sinful'... waste of gold," "So they’ve stuffed the chairs with heather... to keep out... the damp and cold." "The consequence... is itching... for the driver... and his wife," "So we’ll remove the heaters... to prolong... the 'Sovereign' life!" [Response: The Executive Choir] [Grand Harmonies] Bravo, Sir! A masterstroke! A win... for 'Economic Might'! We’ll market it as 'Organic'... and perfectly... polite! If the customer... is freezing... and he's covered... in a rash, At least we’ve kept... the company... from running... out of cash! [Verse 3: The Welsh Division] "The Welshmen... are so fussy... with the 'Spirit'... of the hue," "That they’ve stopped the line entirely... to debate... the 'Proper Blue'." "The consequence... is forty cars... all sitting... in the grey," "So we’ll sell them without paint... in a... 'Cathedral'... sort of way!" [Response: The Executive Choir] Bravo, Sir! A masterstroke! A win... for 'Ancient Art'! We’ll market it as 'Naked Steel'... to touch... the driver’s heart! If the metal... starts to rust away... within... a single week, We’ll tell them... it’s 'Patina'... and it’s... utterly... unique! [Verse 4: The Irish Division] "In Dublin The staff... are always 'Merry'... by the hour... of half-past ten," "And they spend... the lunch-break... fighting... like a... troupe of highwaymen." "The consequence... is crooked doors... and... steering... tilted... back," "So we’ll standardize the stagger... to keep... the car... on track!" [Response: The Executive Choir] Bravo, Sir! A masterstroke! A win... for 'Flexibility'! We’ll market it... as 'Fluid Drive'... with... great agility! If the car... should veer... and wander... like a... drunkard in the lane, We’ll say... it’s 'Self-Correcting'... for the... average... British brain! [Verse 6: The Yorkshire Division] "The Yorkshire factory... in Leeds... finds... our 'Fancy Extras'... too... decadent... to endure," "They’ve no time... for spoiled... brats... or... wishy-washy... youth," "Who lack... the grit... of tradition... and the... sturdy... Northern... truth!" "They’ve removed the wireless radio... to keep... the focus... clear," "And they’ve taken out a cylinder... to keep... the horses... near." "The consequence... is crawling... up... the steepest... northern... hill," "But we’ll show... the man... Honest... Value... with an... affordable... bill!" [Response: The Executive Choir] Bravo, Sir! A masterstroke! A win... for 'Lenten Grace'! We’ll put... the 'Slow and Steady'... back into... the British race! If the customer... is frustrated... as he... crawls... up... every... hill, We’ll show him... Honest... Value... with an... affordable... bill! [Verse 7: The Grand Conclusion] "So there... it stands... the 'Sovereign'... our car...victory... complete!" "It’s loud... and slow... and unadorned... for... any... London... street!" "With Scottish heather... Welsh patina... and a... Belfast... sway," "We’ve built... a car... that represents... the... Empire... of today!" "It doesn't... have a radio... or lights... for... driving... late," "But the car our 'Sovereign'... is the finest... heap... the...very...best...to...date". [Final Chorus / Outro] [Max Volume, Operatic] We are the Board! The pillars... of the trade! We never check the quality... of anything... we've made! We’ve saved the nation's honor... and we’ve... earned... our... celery! At the... Regal... Relic... Motors... and its... Grand... Bankruptcy! [Ending] (A single, long, elegant harpsichord chord that rings out until silence.)
